Photo A Day – December 3: Hand held #FMSphotoaday

MANY of us spend more time looking at our smartphones than at the faces of our loved ones, researchers claim. It’s true that hand-held devices are seductive and attention-seeking – the temptation to see what’s new will always be there and most likely grow stronger with each innovation. They are a wonderful invention which, used …

Photo A Day – November 30: On the wall #FMSphotoaday

‘HOW DEEP dare I go? How far might I reach?’ These challenging questions form part of a framed display of the life story St Ignatius of Loyola on the wall of Loyola Hall Jesuit Spirituality Centre in Merseyside. I went there with an early draft of of my ‘coming out’ story to make an eight …

Photo A Day – November 29: Big #FMSphotoaday

IN A SUNSET SKY, above the chimney pots, a dark speck moves towards the trees. Is it a bird? No. Is it a plane? Yes. A huge jet carrying hundreds of people and huge amounts of luggage appears as big as a leaf on the trees below… For the background to the Photo A Day …

Photo A Day – November 28: Vehicle #FMSphotoaday

FOR THE LAST nine years I have lived without a vehicle. Maybe next year we could buy one but, as these car magazines show, the choices and costs are bewildering! It’s almost ten years since I moved to Liverpool. When I came to visit for New Year 2002, ‘joy-riders’ stole my car from a cinema …

Photo A Day – November 27: Tree #FMSphotoaday

  YESTERDAY CHRISTMAS came to our street, when these ‘green’ decorations appeared on the street lights. They are Christmas trees that wrap around the pole of the lamp post, with a solar panel attached at the top where the star might go. During the day, the trees are not lit, but as soon as it …

Photo A Day – November 26: In the cupboard #FMSphotoaday

AS I LEFT home this morning, workmen were installing Christmas decorations on the street lights outside our house. It seems a little early to be putting up decorations, but I suppose it is only four weeks until Christmas Eve. Our decorations remain in the cupboard. This year we will be with my family in London …

Photo A Day – November 25: Sky #FMSphotoaday

TODAY THE SKY was ‘dunduckety grey’, as my mother might say. ‘What’s dunduckety grey?’ you ask.  ‘The colour of a mouse’s diddy,’ she would reply. So instead of a dull rectangle of sodden sky, I thought I’d share the one we’d rather see on days like this. Taken a few weeks ago as I walked …

Photo A Day – November 24: Sound #FMSphotoaday

TODAY I was at a workshop about sharing good practice examples of LGBT work in schools. The sound I heard today was inspiration. As coordinator of the longest running LGBT youth group in the country, I receive requests to speak in schools and deliver workshops on LGBT awareness for young people. Other colleagues from around …
